Watched almost every one right from the start. I still think Hartnell was the best, the definitive absent minded professor.
PS: Nick. Lovely sailing day at Black Park today, where a colleague was telling me about a certain big model boat show he'd just visited, and was waxing lyrical about a gunboat he had seen there.
HMS Gnat. The description was too unique to be any other than yours
Hi Bob
Yes that was me, gunboat almost complete with ships crew and LRDG soldiers waiting to be dropped off.
I too, have watched almost every Doctor Who that has been released on DVD and decided to start from the very beginning with William Hartnell, and the from what I have heard on the grape vine that the latest Doctor will be going back to the original Totters scrap yard featured in the first episode . I must admit that I prefer the earlier doctors for the story lines, I listen to audio books of Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann, and Tom Bakers voice on some of the latest audio books echoing ...
It's Saturday night in 1974...all over again...
Just gives me goosebumps when I hear him.
For completely dark story lines which make some of the new Doctor Who stories look quite tame, listen to the Sylvester McCoy adventures, the most frightening was a 'baddie' called Nobody No-one who could control the power of language, the theory being ' how many times a day does someone say' Nobody has the power to... Or No-one can do.... And since his name was Nobody No-one he could do those actions! A very complex story but still very scary imagining what that person could do...
Hope the wait is worth it!
